How Your Health Is Affected By Electromagnetic Radiation
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 16, 2012
The controversy around electromagnetic radiation (EMFs) reminds me of the smoking debate that went on for decades. There are so many studies available that point a very large finger to the dangers of EMF exposure especially over the long term. Nineteen ninety marked the time when over 100 studies concerning the safety of various types of EMF exposure were published. Many more have been published since then and governments in Europe are now taking very aggressive steps to limit the exposure of children under the age of 18 to EMFs from cell phones.
How Dirty Electricity and EMFs Can Affect Your DNA
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 15, 2012
Your body is a giant communication device where your cells yak to one another, the tissues and organs also yak to one another. Even the germs inside you talk to one another. Your immune system is another link in the body communication system. The moment an invader is on the scene, the immune system is immobilized. Think about it, everything that the body thinks is an invader is a signal to man the battle stations.
Electo-Smog And Your Health
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 15, 2012
Electro-smog is a modern term coined to describe invisible electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radiation building in the atmosphere as a result of the proliferation of wireless technology and the use of electricity. There is increasing concern over the widespread presence of electro-smog, even in the remotest areas. Despite the fact that there is no cell phone reception in certain areas, EMF radiation is present nonetheless.
What Is Dirty Electricity?
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 10, 2012
When the hydro-electric projects first came into our environments it was clean electric power that powered our homes, businesses and industries with electricity in the 60 Hz (Hertz) range. It was safe and it stayed pretty much on the wiring track that transported it. As the years have progressed we have invented more and more electrical and electronic devices that sometimes require broadcast stations to make them effective over wide ranges.
What Could Be Worse Than The Growing Cell Phone Danger?
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 9, 2012
International scientists the world over have been studying the growing wireless technology issues for a number of years now. Their conclusion is that a new phenomenon, coined as electrosmog is responsible for many diseases that affect the health of many and kill many more. When electricity began to be used more extensively and an nation and international grid of electricity came into more common use, little did anyone know that it would envelop and blanket every inhabitant on Earth, even those in the remotest jungles.
Dangerous Ground Currents And Plumbing Currents Can Affect Your Health
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 9, 2012
Basic physics states when an electron that is used to make electricity leaves its place of origin, it must return to its place of origin to make more electricity. It's like a circle-electrons in, power out. Electricity will move on the path of the most conductivity. In this day and age, it is the earth that has more conductivity than the wire it should travel on. Because of this phenomena, it is now estimated that as much as 70 to 80 percent of the current returning travels along the earth's surface.
Why Dirty Electricity Is Bad For Your Sleep
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 9, 2012
At high frequencies 3kHz and over, electric and magnetic fields can combine to form what is called electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radiation. More and more studies are providing evidence that repeated exposure to higher frequency radiation can disrupt cell function that can have catastrophic effects on health over time.
Dirty Electricity and Your Health
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 9, 2012
Dirty Electricity is named the way it is because it poses a danger to human health. In 2007 the World Health Organization made the following statement: "high levels of exposure to electric and magnetic fields in the frequency up to 100 kilohertz can affect the nervous systems, resulting in acute health effects, including nerve stimulation." Dirty electricity is a very biologically active electromagnetic frequency range between 4kHz and 100kHz that blasts its radiation several feet into a room.
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 9, 2012
In the last 50 years or so the electronic age has accelerated bringing all kinds of devices that are supposed to make our life more pleasant and convenient. Unfortunately, there is a segment of the population in the 3 to 8 percent range that are seriously hypersensitive to certain ranges of electromagnetic frequencies. Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is growing worldwide but because it is difficult to diagnose or even understand, the numbers of people affected is probably much higher.
Twenty-Five Prudent Strategies To Protect From EMF Radiation
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 8, 2012
There is more and more concern regarding exposure to EMF radiation. Even the EPA in the US is cautioning people. Authorities in many sectors are using caution themselves even though they may not be urging the public to do so. If authorities admit there is a problem then they have to do something about it. There are very powerful lobbies that donate money to the re-election campaigns of political candidates. It is not so easy to vote against something when there is money in your pocket not to.
The Mythical Dragon
Self Improvement: Abundance Prosperity • Published: February 7, 2012
The dragon of medieval mythology is one who is fierce and mean, captures sweet damsels and kills brave and noble dragon slayers. The dragon of Chinese mythology is very different however. One of the legends talks about how Buddha summoned the animals of the Earth to bid him farewell when he was to depart from this life and only 12 showed up. Buddha then named a year after each of them to give them a place of honor.
Is Life Whizzing Past You Faster Than You Can Run?
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 7, 2012
It is obvious in this day and age that we were not designed to carry on this frenetic pace. It seems that everything is speeding up. The email that was sent to seconds ago hasn't arrived yet. Why hasn't your friend answered the SMS you send seconds ago, too? Who wants to take the bus, it's too slow? Your kids have skating, soccer and swimming back to back with only a few minutes to spare and you have to drive them and make sure they are on time.
Our Technological Kids
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 7, 2012
I am sure you have heard by now the harmful effects of electromagnetic frequencies on your health. Top of the news has been the effects of the EMF radiation from cell phones. More and more governments in Europe are very clear that children under the age of 18 should not be using cell phones at all. I am sure laptop computers will be next.
Men - Your Body Or Your Car?
Health and Fitness: Mens Issues • Published: June 6, 2011
A lot of men are handy and like to fix things, like their car. For those guys that don't like to tinker and get their hands dirty, they take their car to the dealer or their local fix-it guy the first sign of trouble. When those little dashboard lights come on, they spring into action. I wonder why some guys don't look after their health in the same way? Fewer men than women go to health professionals or alternative health care workers.
Enzymes For Pain
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: June 6, 2011
Inflammation in the body can result in swelling, pain and redness in addition to mobility difficulties. The conventional treatments in North America involve either Non-Steroid Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), Over The Counter Drugs (OTCs) or pharmaceutical drugs. In Europe, however, enzymes have taken over as the treatment of choice with doctors and alternative practitioners for effectiveness without side effects.
What Is The Dirtiest Place Outside Your Bathroom?
Health and Fitness: Diseases • Published: March 25, 2011
A study by a University of Arizona researcher shows that there are some real dangers of illness and contamination from the handles of grocery carts and baskets that you put your groceries in. The lead researcher, Professor Charles Gerba, took swabs from the handles of grocery carts in four US states. Out of the 85 carts swabbed, 72 percent of them tested positive for fecal bacteria.
Skin Tags and Diabetes
Health and Fitness: Diabetes • Published: March 14, 2011
Skin tags are raised lumps of tissue in varying sizes that appear on the neck and around or in the armpits. They are mainly skin colored and are not darkly colored like moles. They are long and thin with a narrow base. In recent studies they have been shown to be strong indicators of high blood sugar issues.
To Be Lean You Need To Eat Fat
Health and Fitness: Weight Loss • Published: March 14, 2011
The increase in disorders that showed rises in arterial plaque and bad cholesterol spawned a drive to reduce dietary fat as much as possible. With it came an increased rise in high blood serum lipids and a proliferation of statin drugs designed to reduce it. The body's cholesterol became increasingly out of balance with the Standard American Diet.
Where Does Your Body Store Fat?
Health and Fitness: Weight Loss • Published: March 9, 2011
Your overall body shape is one of the indicators of where your body stores fat. While storing too much body fat is not healthy, where you store that fat is the most important indicator of where your potential problems lie. Visceral fat, the fat that gathers around our internal organs and the spaces between them is the dangerous fat. It acts differently in our bodies than the fat that lies between the skin and the muscle and can jiggle when we move.
Your Poor Thyroid
Health and Fitness: Thyroid • Published: February 22, 2011
In our environment and our food supply there are a lot of chemicals that are of the same halide family as iodine. Chlorine, bromine and fluoride, the three musketeers, are all so similar in composition to iodine that your thyroid doesn't know the difference. Because chlorine, bromine and fluoride have slightly stronger structure to iodine, it's like iodine gets kicked out of the thyroid and is replaced with these other mimics. The iodine gets washed out in the urine.
The Truth About Fluoride
Health and Fitness: Mental Health • Published: February 18, 2011
Fluoride is a by-product of the aluminum production industry. It is something that aluminum producers must dispose of with a very expensive process. Before fluoridation the only approved uses were as a rat poison and as an insecticide. Somewhere along the way, someone decided that putting it in the drinking water was a good idea. After that, they started putting a fluoride wash on teeth after the dental hygienist cleaned the teeth.
Relieve Your Migraines Naturally
Health and Fitness: Headaches Migraines • Published: February 18, 2011
Migraines are one of the worst conditions for people who habitually get them. Not only do you have an excruciating headache you can have flashing lights, narrowed vision, stabbing pains or even nausea. But there is hope as promising researchers find natural ways to relieve them or get rid of them.
Managing Your Diabetes Begins With Hydration
Health and Fitness: Diabetes • Published: February 17, 2011
Because of the dynamics of diabetes, people with blood sugar elevation need to drink plenty of water as this condition tends to dehydrate the body. Dehydration is a condition results when there is not enough fluid in the body to manage proper body function. Even a two percent drop in your body's water volume can create symptoms. Every body function depends on water to some extent and water is what gets fuel, electrolytes and enzymes to the cells and trucks away the waste.
Vitality and Your pH
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 16, 2011
Family members acquire learned behaviors and pattern from their parents and are sometimes good, but more often than not are not so good for our overall health over time. Food and beverage choices are what drives our health into the stratosphere or into the ditch. All of the body organs react to a drop in body pH called chronic metabolic acidosis. It comes from eating the typical Standard North American Diet (SAD). Coffee, soft drinks, alcohol, fried foods, pizza, super sized meals and lots of sugar affect the body's natural pH, which should be around 7.365 with the exception being the stomach.
Eczema and Your Body pH
Health and Fitness: Alternative • Published: February 16, 2011
Eczema is a skin condition that can have a variety of symptoms. Most of the types of eczema itch, produce redness, pain, heat, tenderness, dryness or crusting of the affected area. In some cases there is weeping from cracks in the skin or blistering. Behind all the contact irritation, allergies and over-sensitivities, there is a trigger. You may be surprised to know that your body pH may trigger your skin to react with eczematic symptoms.
